Here's your feel-good story of the day: Thanks to a lot of help, a dying Trekker managed to see Star Trek Into Darkness on Saturday. It all started on Reddit, where a user named 1deeyut posted a desperate plea for his 41-year old friend Dan to see Star Trek Into Darkness. Apparently, Dan is at the end of a long bout with cancer. After going through chemo and a bone marrow transplant, his doctors discovered an entirely different tumor, and Dan only has weeks to live. His dying wish was to see Star Trek Into Darkness before he died. Of course, there's the slight little technical hiccup due to the fact that the movie isn't due to be released until May. The final cut isn't even finished yet.

While Dan is bound to secrecy about the movie, the word is that he loved it - thankfully. I mean, how much would that suck if the Star Trek community went through all that, and he went, "Eh, it was okay. I thought it dragged in spots. Too many plotholes. I give it one-and-a-half stars."

In related news, hospitals throughout the country have been flooded with Star Trek fans who all claim to be dying, and whose last wish is to see "Star Trek Into Darkness."
